John Gard announced he’ll again face Rep. Steve Kagen for Congress. Gard will be running on continuing President Bush’s tax cuts and earmark reform. Gard even took from Sen. McCain and offered some “straight talk.”
It’s a good opportunity for Republicans to take a Democratic seat. They will be few and far between this cycle so […]
On the heels of his economic speech in Pittsburgh Sen. John McCain is in Milwaukee continuing to talk about the economy. Before what the campaign calls a “Economic Summit Meeting” at mining equipment leader Bucyrus International former HP CEO and now RNC Victory Chair Carly Fiorina answered a few of my questions.
Fiorina told me in […]

It’s the one time of the year when Eugene Kane makes sense. When black eighth graders in Wisconsin schools were found to be the worst writers in the country he tells us more than the students are culpable:
These depressing results were taken from a national study often referred to as “The Nation’s Report Card,” which […]
If you’re in the Milwaukee area this weekend I encourage you to attend the 2008 Future Wisconsin Conference. It’s sure to be a good event with conservative leaders like Dave Keene, President, American Conservative Union; activist, Richard Viguerie; Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker; and Rep. Paul Ryan speaking. WISN’s Jay Weber will be MCing and […]
Judging from last night’s election results there is hope for Wisconsin conservatives. Judge Michael Gableman knocked Justice Louis Butler off the State Supreme Court, Scott Walker won another term as Milwaukee County Executive, the Hartford school referendum went down, and Karen Carpenter won a seat on the Kenosha city council.

Brian Fraley asked,
1) How many wins for UW?
2) How soon before Marquette gets bounced?
3) Your biggest upset of the tourney?

and I answered. I want to post them before the March Madness games start today:

Congratulations go to Waukesha West’ Academic Decathlon team. They won their seventh straight Wisconsin state title yesterday. I represented Slinger High School in 1993 so I know how much work and dedication it took to compete for a state title. I wish them the best of luck competing in the national finals next month in […]
Milwaukee Brewers manager Ned Yost has a unique way of dealing with weblogs:
I’ve decided that from now on when NASCAR is on the docket, I’m going to pull a “Yost,’’ or react the same way he does when the subject of blogs are brought up.
See, the manager is not a big fan of blogs, which […]
#4 has called it quits. Here’s Green Bay Packers General Manager Ted Thompson:
Brett Favre has informed us of his intention to retire from the Green Bay Packers and the NFL. He has had one of the greatest careers in the history of the National Football League, and he is able to walk away from the […]
It wasn’t the clean sweep I thought it would be last night for Sen. John McCain. Mike Huckabee won more votes in two Congressional districts giving him six delegates.
In the Third District Huckabee got 46.10% to McCain’s 44.37%. In the Seventh which went back and forth all night Huckabee squeaked out a 71-vote win.
Looking at […]
Fox News gives Sen. John McCain a Wisconsin win. Their exit polls had McCain beating Mike Huckabee on every issue. Even talk radio listeners backed McCain.
UPDATE: About Obama’s vacuous rhetoric McCain responds in his victory speech, “Americans are not deceived by an eloquent but empty call for change.” He not only takes on Obama’s inexperience, […]
Jim Geraghty reports:
I’m hearing that after two waves of data, Wisconsin looks like a blowout in favor of Obama, in the neighborhood of 60 percent to 40 percent.
AJStrata might have spoke too soon about Obama peaking too early.
If the exit polls were centered around Madison and Milwaukee areas with high student concentrations that could skew […]

Twenty-four of the GOP delegates will be awarded according to the vote totals in each of Wisconsin’s eight congressional districts. The winner of the district vote will get all three of the delegates for the September convention.
Thirteen are at-large delegates and […]
If you live in Kenosha, WI vote for Kathy Carpenter in the aldermanic primary. She takes the good, old-fashioned conservative route of running on taxes:
Also, the tax issue is huge in Kenosha. I have talked to liberals, conservatives and independents and they all say the same thing- Kenosha’s taxes are too high. We […]
